Hello! My name is Elisa Glez Magaña also known as Cookingkstar.
I'm a independent artist specialized in illustration and character design, based in México. I love adorable, colorful and expressive characters that connect emotionally with audiences. Specially stories that inspire us to improve ourselves and connect with nature and the world.
I help authors, publishers, studios, and entrepreneurs bring their ideas to life through visual storytelling for animation, comics, children's books, videogames and branding.
Currently I create characters and illustrate children's books. I have experience of working for the animation industry, creating characters, concept art and storyboards for children's projects and videogames.
In my work I like to use a variety of mediums such as a combination of traditional media like watercolor, gouache and mix it with digital tools.
In my free time I like playing videogames, reading books, going out at nature (snorkeling, paddleboarding), learning languages like japanese and korean and baking.
Feel free to contact me to discuss employment opportunities or simply say hello!
My work is influenced by fantasy, nature and kawaii aesthetics, making it ideal for:
Character design and brand mascots
Children’s books and educational illustration
Concept art for magical, emotional worlds
Stickers, prints and playful merch
Let’s create something meaningful and magical together.
